グリーン車
의미: Green car — the first-class carriage on JR trains, offering more comfort for a premium price.
Named after the green clover symbol used to mark the carriages, グリーン車 offers wider seats, more legroom, and a quieter atmosphere on JR trains. Choosing to ride グリーン車 is considered a small luxury — upgrading is sometimes called a 'flex' or 'treating yourself.' On social media, posts about riding グリーン車 often accompany discussions of self-reward or feeling wealthy. The Shinkansen グリーン車 is especially aspirational.
